[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turned down ITS to stay at private. Very unimpressed with upper grades (3+) on the tour. Like the "free" option but didn't feel we could make the leap. [/quote] What grade did you turn down? Very close for PK3. I had the opposite experience talking and seeing 3rd and 5th grade teachers. Very impressed with the kids and the work on the walls.[/quote] We turned down 3rd grade. We were very critical/discerning because we would have been sacrificing some big positives from the private (class size, facility, etc.). If Pk3 is your oldest and you feel like you want a switch later in their school years I think you will find that your wants change dramatically as kids age (and I have an older one as well). Hope that doesn't come off snarky, but a lot changes from age 3 to age 9 in learning styles, etc. [/quote] I should have clarified. We have older kid accepted that has moved our PK3 high on list. We are also very critical with our older kid and expectations (especially looking to middle school). We don't have private to compare it to but we're very impressed with the older grades. The middle school principal seems amazing.[/quote]
